David Burge has invested the last 18 years of his career generating quality leads for products, small businesses and educational institutions across the country. Through local, national, long form and short form advertising, David has extensive media-placement experience in TV, print, internet, radio, direct mail and outdoor advertising.

With a Bachelor of Fine Arts from OBU, like many of the field's pioneers, David Burge has obtained the majority of his marketing expertise empirically. Opposed to the "in theory" approach implicit of the classroom experience, David has studied first hand under some of the industry's giants and knows what is and is not viable in the real-world market.

Joining with Plattform Advertising in 1994, David was an integral part of its inception—helping it grow from a staff of five to the industry leader it is today. Moving to the Pacific Northwest in 2000 David joined the Nautilus, Inc team, one of the most respected and well known DR Brand advertising product companies. David also enjoyed a number of years alongside Kelly Brady Advertising and Cmedia.

David Burge's talents have been of service to a wide variety of proprietary schools including Career Education Corporation, Kaplan, Westwood College, The Chubb Institute, and Corinthian Colleges. He has also spent ample time on the product side of direct response, handling accounts such as Bowflex, Nautilus Sleep System, The Jack La Lane Power Juicer, Phillips HeartStart, Humana Healthcare, and Lateral Thigh Trainer. Also included in his portfolio are many small businesses and local companies across the board.
